But with just a glance, it set off alarm bells in his heart, his hairs standing on end as if he had encountered some terrifying danger!
From the surface appearance.
Master Pu Xuan seemed benevolent and kind, with a dignified presence.
But in Lu Yuan’s vision, the figure ahead was clearly a bloated creature, its entire body covered in lumps and sores!
Especially in its swollen abdomen, there was a fist-sized insect cocoon!
Countless fine tendrils, covered in thick mucus, grew from the surface of the cocoon and spread along the veins throughout the body, continuously supplying the cocoon with nutrients and energy.
"Is this what a Core Formation Cultivator of this world is?"
Even with Lu Yuan’s soul tempered by countless trials, he felt a pure sense of discord at this moment.
It turns out so-called cultivators were nothing more than parasitic puppets of insects.
The insects used the flesh and blood of all beings as a nursery, constantly drawing energy and nutrients from the outside world through borrowed power.
As compensation for their parasitism, they would in return bestow powerful strength to the cultivators.
When the parasites emerge from their cocoons, they will mercilessly discard these puppets and vessels, achieving a different form of rebirth.
